Is there a way to automatically reduce the post to a short excerpt for viewing in the blog/catergory area? I would like to just have a list of the posts and images along with the first line of the post rather than the whole post. Currently I have to use a plugin to get this, is there something I can add to the functions?

Hi there, where would you replace this exactly? I found the line you mentioned (line 31 in the loop-index.php) but replacing it with the code you gave just breaks everything. Let me know if you have any suggestions, I would definitely like to have shortened excerpts in my category pages / blog listings.

Make sure you’re pasting it in exactly as it is above. PHP can be a bit picky :)

Regards,

Devin

Hi there, I replaced the line of code with the one you suggested but it is still not working properly. The following is how the code looks after I replaced line #31:

I know I’m doing something wrong since the code breaks the whole site. Any insight would be fantastic, thanks!!

Not sure why it’s not working in your case. Try to open up loop-index.php, delete the entire code in the file and insert the code from here: https://gist.github.com/InoPlugs/9112ea56006e6e40b3ad

If it still doesn’t work please give us more details – “just breaks everything” doesn’t help us to find the problem.

Hi there, thanks for the code and reply! I copied the code into a new file and gave it a try but still the same results. Anytime the loop-index.php file is loaded on a page when that code is present the whole page loads white; no content whatsoever. It only loads the first two DIVs of the site and no headers. If it would be easier I can give you access to the FTP / WP site, just send me an email.

Sorry for delay but these on site visits always take longer then expected. Please send credentials to usjahm (at) gmail (dot) com. Please make sure I can install plugins without a need for ftp login/password , otherwise please provide that as well. Please reference this post in the email and if you have anything else to add, please do. :)
